Ubuntu 13.04 and Arduino Ide

[NikTheGreek]

Hi.
I few days ago decided to instal Ubuntu 13.04 in one of my partitions.
The first thing installed was of course Arduino 1.0.3.
So i tried to load a working copy of MultiWii on my Linux system.
But when i compile the sketch i'm taking this

Code: Select all

MultiWii.ino:67:21: error variable or field 'SerialGpsPrint' declared void
MultiWii.ino:67:21: error 'prog_char' was not declared on this scope
MultiWii.ino:67:32: error 'str' was not declared on this scope
GPS.ino:212:23: error variable or field 'SerialGpsPrint' declared void
GPS.ino:212:23: error 'prog_char' was not declared on this scope
GPS.ino:212:34: error 'str' was not declared on this scope

Any idea why ?
Thank you in advance.

I believe the Real Sun Java is required, not the open source that comes with Ubuntu. Uninstall them and download the JRE from Sun. Should work.

Thank you Richard.
Done it but is not working

Hmmm, weird. I just took down my Ubuntu machine but I did have the IDE working with it. Not sure what is up with that but will say, it was the 64bit version.

Try downloading the updated 1.05 from the arduino site and uninstall the 1.03.

I would try downloading the latest version of the Arduino ide.
It could be that the earlier version doesn't have the correct libraries to use with that sketch.

The problem remain..
and seems that i can't find solution.

Did you get the correct java package?

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install librxtx-java

Change (GPS.cpp line 244) to:
void SerialGpsPrint(PROGMEM const char *str) {

I hope to see that changed also in the SVN repository.

The same problem exists also in Fedora 19 and probably in all the major Linux distributions.

The type `prog_char' is defunct. Your Ubuntu installation is probably using a new version of avr-gcc which do not support it.

Optionally, install arduino 1.0.5 from the arduino download page. It comes with its own old version of avr-gcc that still accepts prog_char.
